Anna Nicole Smith's Dogs Boycott Iams
Oct 28, 3:30 PM EST

Anna Nicole Smith's dogs are boycotting pet food maker Iams. Smith's protesting pooches are refusing dog food from Iams in a new advertisement for PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

"Marilyn, Sugar Pie and Puppy are boycotting Iams until it stops testing on animals in labs," the poster reads beneath a picture of Smith, a former Playboy model, and her three dogs.

PETA claims an undercover investigation in 2002 and 2003 revealed "deplorable" conditions in Iams' contract laboratory. The group said at least 27 dogs were killed, and listed abuses including cramped conditions and having dogs' vocal cords removed to prevent barking.

Iams, which sells pet food and pet care products, disputes those allegations.

"We have constantly and publicly communicated with the public with what we do in our feeding studies," Kurt Iverson, a spokesman for Iams, told The Associated Press on Friday. "We also work with a number of well-respected officials from animal welfare groups, like the ASPCA and the Humane Society of the United States."

The ad will be posted next week on PETA's Web site, and it will appear on billboards this winter.

PS Hey Kit! Is that picture in your avatar, your impression of a Monty Python "pepper pot" lady?

Oh my, Anna Nicole Smith has said it, so it must be true.

Psst, Miss Smith, get your dog a hair cut!

***Cassiepeia*** · 10-31-2005, 11:04 AM

Is she a member of PETA or just a poster girl for them this time 'round?

I have to wonder where she bought her dogs (does that make me a cynical person?

). Suger Pie, the black one, is suppose to be a toy poodle ya know.

Cass.

Why is everybody knocking PETA? They have done some pretty good things in the past, as well as raise awareness about many issues. I do not consider myself to be a radical either

Kade · 11-03-2005, 06:10 PM

There is another thread about PETA, so I won't get into it here.

I think you can find it in the Debate forum.

But I wanted to add that in this case, they are even being hypocritical -- seeing as how the idea of humans owning animals as pets is anathema to them -- it is bendy ethics at best and manipulative and self-serving at least to employ a person who owns dogs to perpetuate "part" of their platform.

Just occurred to me and had to add it.
